Location
Centre of Brebbia, in the region of Lombardy.

Hisotry
The myth tells that Jiulius came with his brother from Greece to evangelize the area close to Orta Lake, and decided to destroy the Temple of Minerva and build the Brebbia Church.

The Origins of the Church
Following Teodosio's decision to adopt the Catholic religion, the Romans replaced Minerva's Temple with a Christian Church. This original Church was subsequently replaced with the current church of St. Peter and Paul. The construction of the new Church was due partially to increasing population in the region.

The title of "Pieve"
uring the V century, after several barbaric invasions against the town of Brebbia, the Church gained importance and was granted the title of "Pieve", becoming the centre of the archbishops of Insubria. The Church lost the title of Pieve in 1567 D.C, when it was passed to the city of Milan.

Similarities with Regional Church Architecture
The apse are all located at the end of the main nave. Art critics have advanced the hypothesis that all of these were build under the main guidance of Julius of Novara, due to the similarity in style.

Besozzi's Family
This funding allowed the family to gain power in the area and to obtain favourable treatment in the affairs of the Catholic Church. The family had a coat of arms characterised by a golden flying eagle, which features in the church's Crucifixion's fresco.

External
The main nave was originally characterized by a truss, substitued in the XVII century by a vault. This renovation work destabilized the building and because of that it required further structural modifications, which include the addition of tie-rods and metal slabs. These additions still remain visible on the church exterior.

Internal
Anybody knows why this title is not on the left? LUICArianna07 (talk) 20:51, 11 December 2018 (UTC)LUICArianna07

The apse
The fresco that is placed on the left side of the central window represents the Madonna Enthroned with the Child and Saint Peter. The throne of Virgin Mary has gothic elements, like turrets and pinnacles that make it look like a sacred edifice. The theme of Virgin Mary as mother is the image of the Church that is usually suggested, but Saint Peter acquires a particular importance in this fresco. The state of conservation of the artwork is precarious due to the disappearance of many graphic details. These were originally described as numerous, but currently only remain in the vest of the Child and in its borders.

History of The Passion of Christ
The thirteen paintings tell in images the events that the liturgy celebrates in Holy Week. This starts with the Triumphal entry into Jerusalem and continues to the Harrowing of Hell.

Minerva's temple
This is an example of a Christian church built on top of an ancient Pagan temple. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the subsitution of the place, from Pagan to Christian, was highlighted by this epigraph.
